Di Renjie was sent by Qin Kai to Monan to lobby Gongsun Zan.

After Gongsun Zan lost Youzhou, he led the remaining troops to establish power in Monan and annexed the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Xiongnu tribes.

"General Gongsun, now that the general has proclaimed the emperor, he wants to call you to serve the imperial court. We will make peace with you and help the Han Dynasty together."

Di Renjie secretly observed Gongsun Zan's reaction.

The task given by Qin Kai to Di Renjie was to persuade Gongsun Zan to surrender. Even if Gongsun Zan did not submit to the court, he must hold back Gongsun Zan to prevent Gongsun Zan from sending troops to merge with Lu Bu.

Gongsun Zan kept a low profile and recruited hundreds of thousands of cavalry in Monan. Qin Kai could not spare the time to completely eliminate Gongsun Zan.

So Qin Kai sent Di Renjie to try to persuade Gongsun Zan to surrender through diplomatic means, at least to prevent Gongsun Zan from participating in the war.

"What benefits can Qin Kai give me?"

Gongsun Zan had been observing the situation. He originally planned to take the opportunity to go south and reoccupy Youzhou after Qin Kai's defeat in the Battle of Guandu and the vitality of the eighteen princes were severely damaged. However, Qin Kai won a complete victory in the Battle of Guandu and his main force was not exhausted.

Therefore, Gongsun Zan did not dare to attack Youzhou.

Now that Qin Kai's reputation has greatly increased and he sent envoys to persuade him to surrender, Gongsun Zan just happened to see Qin Kai's sincerity.

Di Renjie coughed twice and said, "The imperial court can designate General Gongsun as General of the Northern Expedition and make him a Marquis."

"Female prince?"

"What does General Gongsun think?"

"Allow me to think twice."

Gongsun Zan fell into deep thought.

Qin Kai's conditions are quite acceptable, but if he agrees, he will have to obey Qin Kai's orders from now on.

In Bingzhou, two large-scale cavalry were fighting in a melee, with iron hooves galloping and sand and dust billowing.

"Dancing ghosts and gods!"

The Fangtian painted halberd in Lu Bu's hand was swinging wildly, filled with black energy, and the attack speed was extremely fast. Each halberd was so powerful and heavy that it was difficult for any armor to block it.

"Beiba Liuhe Gun!"

Gao Chong holds a tiger-headed golden spear and rides on a fire-dragon pony riding on snow, fighting against Lu Bu in the midst of thousands of troops.

Two cavalrymen fought in a melee. Gao Chong blocked Lu Bu and prevented Lu Bu from leading the cavalry to tear up the formation.

The two holy cavalry generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing provide bonuses to the cavalry unit. Even the cavalry of Lu Bu, Ma Chao and other famous cavalry generals from the Three Kingdoms cannot defeat the cavalry legions of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

As long as Lu Bu is not allowed to use his military superiority, it will be difficult for Lu Bu and Ma Chao's cavalry to defeat Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's cavalry.

Gao Chong's basic strength is 125, while Lu Bu's base strength at level 120 has exceeded 130.

Gao Chong could barely hold Lu Bu up.

The Beiwei Army cavalry under Gao Chong carried big axes and fought fiercely with the cavalry of gods and demons equipped with Fangtian painted halberds.

The Beiwei Army is not as powerful as the Gods and Demons Cavalry, but the Beiwei Army has more people. It is worthwhile to replace one Gods and Demons Cavalry with several Beiwei Army.

With flying sand and rocks, and filled with dust, Gao Chong and Lu Bu fought fiercely for more than two hundred rounds, and gradually became exhausted.

"The Overlord is reincarnated!"

Veins popped up on Gao Chong's forehead, and his force was increased by 8 points. Then he opened the exclusive domain of generals, and his force was increased by another 8 points. The actual force reached 141 points, surpassing Lu Bu in one fell swoop!

Saint-level warriors all have their own strengths. Gao Chong's burst of force is extremely high, and one shot can knock off a chariot.

Even if the 141 force can only be maintained for a period of time, Gao Chong will try his best to defeat Lu Bu!

"I am the only one in the world who has no equal!"

Lu Bu activates the Unparalleled Domain, and the total strength of Gao Chong and the surrounding Beiwei Army is reduced by 5 points. Gao Chong consumes four times the physical strength, and the actual strength is only 136 points, making it impossible to defeat Lu Bu quickly.

"Let's see who can't stand it first."

Lu Bu knew that Gao Chong could not maintain 136 force for a long time, and the two sides fought for 300 rounds.

The longer the two warriors fight, the faster Gao Chong's energy will drain away, and sooner or later he will be unable to hold on.

Clang clang clang!

Lu Lingqi's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry collided with Huo Qubing's Yulin Flying Cavalry and was defeated by the Yulin Flying Cavalry. Lu Lingqi held Fang Tian's Painted Halberd and fought against Huo Qubing.

The cold iron plum blossom spear in Huo Qubing's hand stabbed out quickly, forming an afterimage in the air.

Lu Lingqi parried Huo Qubing's attack and waited for an opportunity to counterattack.

Lu Lingqi's commander-in-chief is not as good as Huo Qubing's, but after being promoted to a quasi-saint-level warrior, Lu Lingqi is not inferior to Huo Qubing in terms of pure force value.

All the fierce generals are fighting, the army is in chaos, and there are cavalry everywhere.

Lu Lingqi and Huo Qubing killed the surrounding soldiers from time to time during the fierce battle.

Wei Qing was riding high to command. He saw Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's cavalry blocking Guanzhong on the flat terrain. The cavalry regiment formed by Liangzhou, Lu Bu, Lu Lingqi, Ma Chao, Pang De and other fierce generals charged into the battle and wanted to open a gap, but were stopped by Wei Qing.

, Huo Qubing’s cavalry stopped him.

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing improved the cavalry too much. The uncle and nephew joined forces, and the Guanzhong and Liangzhou cavalry were still unable to open a gap.

A Yulin cavalry flew a report: "General, there is an infantry group crossing the mountains and appearing behind us!"

"It seems that the other side has good fighters. Fortunately, we have left a reserve team."

Wei Qing was a little surprised when he discovered that an enemy force had bypassed his and Huo Qubing's defenses. He immediately mobilized Ran Min's beggar army to fight against the enemy.

The sound of dense footsteps sounded. Under the command of military strategists Yasheng Wu Qi and Jian Xuanyuan, the heavily guarded Wei soldiers marched dangerously across the mountains and forced their way behind Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, intending to cooperate with Lu Bu and Ma Chao to penetrate Wei Qing.

, Huo Qubing’s cavalry.

Among the several major battlefields, Bingzhou battlefield is the most dangerous place.

Qin Kai sent four holy-level generals, but they may not be able to defend it.

As a famous commander, Wei Qing was not only good at using cavalry, but also reserved Ran Min's beggar army as a reserve force.

Ran Min commanded the beggar army to fight Wu Qi and prevent Wu Qi from forming a pincer attack.

"Destroy the enemy!"

Wu Qi drew his sword and pointed straight ahead. Tens of thousands of Wei soldiers formed a dense square formation and launched an attack.

The stern battle formation rolled over, and there was a blue dragon cloud in the sky above the battle formation.

Even if the fierce generals are besieged by the phalanx of Wei soldiers, their force will be suppressed!

"Thousands of miles of scorched earth!"

After Ran Min broke into the square formation of Wei soldiers on a red dragon horse, his general skills exploded, and his murderous aura swept across all directions, killing dozens or hundreds of Wei soldiers and forcing a gap!

The begging army went on and on, treating death as if it were home.

Although the opponent is the military strategist Yasheng Wu Qi and the elite Wei Wu soldiers, Ran Min's beggar army is also an elite, and it is a special unit that exchanges lives for lives. It will fight to the death to replace the Wei Wu soldiers.

Wei Qing was worried that the beggar army led by Ran Min would not be able to stop Wu Qi's Wei Wu soldiers, so he mobilized an additional group of Yulin flying cavalry to raid the formation on both sides of the beggar army and kept shooting. The bows and arrows fell like black clouds on Wei Wu.

In the square formation of soldiers.

Recommending Xuanyuan, Wu Qi wanted to break through the combination of Ran Min and Wei Qing, which was extremely difficult.

"If the situation is unfavorable, then I can only activate Xiang Yu's characteristic that I obtained - burn the boat."

Jian Xuanyuan realized that Wu Qi might not be able to win, so he kept a backup plan.

…

Huainan, on the embankment of the Huai River, the generals of the Runan Yellow Turban Army Liu Pi, Gong Du, He Yi and others were already in place. On the river embankment were all the Yellow Turban soldiers wrapped in yellow turbans.

The Yellow Turban soldiers worked day and night and finally dug a deep ditch to flood the city.

Heavy rain poured down in the Shouchun area, and the Huai River and Fei River surged.

"Dike burst!"

Several Yellow Turban Army generals gave the order, and the Yellow Turban Army destroyed the river embankment. The river surged, roared, and rushed toward Shouchun City like wild beasts.

The heavy rain continues, and one can imagine how much damage the coming flood will cause to Shouchun City.

"Yuan Shu, you are asking for a lot of blessings."

Liu Pi, Gong Du and other Yellow Turban generals were lucky that they did not resist Qin Kai's army, otherwise they would have ended up like Yuan Shu who was trapped and died in Shouchun City.

Qin Kai mobilized three million soldiers and horses to besiege Shouchun, and also used water attacks. It can be said that he gave Yuan Shu enough face.

In Shouchun City, Yuan Shu was still looking forward to Sun Jian's reinforcements. However, the flood arrived earlier than the reinforcements.

Shouchun City was shaking, and the defenders were panicking. They saw the flood outside the city quickly approaching the city.

"Lord, something bad has happened. The enemy has burst the embankment and flooded the city!"

"The flood is approaching the city walls!"

The defenders of Shouchun City ran around and asked Yuan Shu for help.

A scourge!

The durability of Shouchun City's fortifications will be reduced due to flooding. Coupled with the continuous rainy season, it will be a torture for the enemy troops defending the city.
